Lazy retainers

[NyssaElf]

Better gear improves the chances of getting something good from Quick Ventures - but your odds of actually seeing anything awesome are still pretty darned low. I don't think I've even come close to breaking even on what it cost to deck out my DoL retainers.

My retainer is ilv 95 and he just brings me fish..just fish

[LordNickage]

All mine ever gets me is an ink and quill.
I seriously wonder if she is robbing shops in Ul'dah or something.

[Odd]

My 2 DoL retainers are wearing almost BiS (their own, i have my own BiS set), and have been since about a month after retainer ventures came out. So over 6 months. I just finally got the Tiny Tapir minion yesterday.

My retainers on quick ventures always get me $#*()@ fish, despite them not being a fisher. At other times, they can get me ilvl70 gear.

My retainers aren't lv 50 yet, but is it better to send them on quick ventures or the exploration ones?

also, what is the best way to earn ventures? daily beast tribes?

[SummerRider]

I would do the highest exploration one that is avaliable, but It's been a while, I think the cost per venture was better that way.

To earn ventures, the daily beast tribe works, as well as hunting down the leves that give you ventures for their completion, or buy them off of your Grand Company.

Do you hunt? 5 ventures for 10 seals. GC is 5 ventures for 1500.

My fc's mate's retainer brought back 2 pure white dye .. The retainer is ilv 88 archer

[SeraviEdalborez]

And I also can't use my botanist/miner gear since they are wearing it all the time.

They only need Gathering. Make another set and meld only Gathering to cap on it. It's relatively inexpensive. Buy another lv50 tool from calamity salvager if you haven't already.
